Written Notes

Tasted in April 2024. 58.1% Semillon + 41.9% Sauvignon Blanc. Great intensity of grapefruit and apple on the nose. Remarkable acidity, crispiness, structure, and length. Vibrant and sophisticated. Long, lemony aftertaste. Pure class.

  • 99p

Bright yellow colour with green hue. A sophisticated wine with aromatic and expressive character with complexity and depth. Refined fruit, starfruit and tangerine, apricots and peaches, hints of white blossoms and orange blossoms, subtle hints of vanilla and subtle oak. On the palate very persistent with complexity and depth, exciting tension and great freshness, offering a stunning potential for a long life.
